The digital age has ushered in the convenience of wireless connections. It is now possible to connect a variety of devices without the hassle of bulky cords or expensive hardware. If a Wi-Fi signal from a LAN is available, connecting your laptop to a projector can be done easily. Once connected, you can send presentations, movies and pictures wirelessly from your laptop to a projector for viewing on larger screens.

Step 1

Close all programs and power down your laptop.

Step 2

Locate the necessary jacks. Most jacks on laptops are typically found on the left edge of the laptop. The wireless projector adapter likely has a USB connector on one end and a VGA jack on the other. Connect the USB cable from the wireless projector adapter to the laptop.

Step 3

Connect the VGA cable from the rear of the projector to the VGA jack on the adapter.

Step 4

Turn on the laptop and sign in as a user or administrator if prompted. Some wireless adapters include software that must be installed and you should do so now, if applicable.

Step 5

Follow the on-screen prompts to secure the wireless signal for the projector adapter. Once the connection is established, you are ready to wirelessly stream information to the wireless projector from your laptop.
